The company KARMI UNIFRUIT LTD was established in March 1995. It started as a small family business which was founded by Mr. Alecos Sophocleous in 1976 and dealt with retail of fruit and vegetables. After almost 20 years and with the experience gained, Mr. Sophocleous realised the needs that arose in the sector of fruit and vegetables and consequently chose to deal with wholesale trade as well, and mainly with imports, to cover the needs of the Cypriot market. The first years of operation were difficult indeed, however through an unexpected acceptance by Cypriot consumers and careful development steps it soon became a leading company in Wholesale Trade of Fruit & Vegetables in Cyprus.
